To all whom 'it may confiera Be it known'that I, PHILIP PinrnooNo, a subject of the King of Italy, and a resident of the United States, residing at East Hartford, Connecticut, have' invented new and useful Improvements in Rocking-Chair Attachments, of which the following is a specication.

T he present invention relates to improvements in mechanically operated fan mechanism -and more particularly to means to utilize the energy of a rocking chair or other movable seat or manually' operated structure in the Jform of 'mechanical means to actuate fan mechanism whose 'force may be directed upon the operator.

e. further obJect of this invention is to provide such a device which may be easily and quicldyattached or detached, to orgrromv a rocking chair, movable seat or other manuallv operated strncture of' conventional type.

'Various other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the continuance of the following description:

In the drawings:

Figure 1 isa -view in side-elevation showf .The rod 14 in turn carries a stud or pinion which rotatably supports a beveled gear wheel 17. rthe rod further carries a bracket v18 for afan member 19, the operating shaft of the fan extending through the bracket and being provided with apinion 20 to mesh with the beveled gear 17.

In order to rotate the wheel 17 and in turn actuatc the fan' member, I provide the wheel 17 with a connecting Vrod 21, one of the rods being pivotally connected thereto as at 22. The other -end of the rod 21 is pivotally connected to a rocker arm 23 as at 24 so that upon proper movement of the rocker -arm the rod 21 will cause rotation of the wheel 17 and the consequent operation `of the fan member.

A stud25 carried bythe riding-a pivotfor the. arm; whie the other e'nd of the arm'is connected to the rocking chair asv at 27.

From the above it will be readily seen that upon motion of the rocking chair in the usual manner, the arm 23 will be rocked' lupon the pivot 25 causing a compound reciprocatory and oscillatory movement of the rammen .nay 13,1920.'

standard 12 operates in a slot 26 of the arm 23, thus pro'-l rod .21 and the consequent rotation ofthe wheel 17 and .the fan member.

What is claimed is zrl `he combination with e support equipped with a standard and having a rocking chair mounted thereon, of a supporting rod rigidly fixed to and projecting above the chair, a beveled gear mounted upon the rod, a bevel pinion meshing therewith, a bracket fixed to the rod and supporting said pinion, a fan operable with the pinion, and a lever mounted upon the standard and connected with said bevel gear and said chair wherebyl movement isimparted to the bevel gear when the chair is set 1n motion.
